Dongjoon Hyun updated SPARK-27949:
----------------------------------
    Description: 
Currently, function `substr/substring`'s usage is like 
`substring(string_expression, n1 [,n2])`. 

But, the ANSI SQL defined the pattern for substr/substring is like 
`SUBSTRING(str FROM n1 [FOR n2])`. This gap makes some inconvenient when we 
switch to the SparkSQL.

- ANSI SQL-92: http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~shadow/sql/sql1992.txt

Below are the mainly DB engines to support the ANSI standard for substring.
- PostgreSQL https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/functions-string.html
- MySQL 
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/string-functions.html#function_substring
- Redshift https://docs.aws.amazon.com/redshift/latest/dg/r_SUBSTRING.html
- Teradata

  was:
Currently, function substr/substring's usage is like 
substring(string_expression, n1 [,n2]). 

But the ANSI SQL defined the pattern for substr/substring is like 
substring(string_expression from n1 [for n2]). This gap make some inconvenient 
when we switch to the SparkSQL.

Can we support the ANSI pattern like substring(string_expression from n1 [for 
n2])?
